Had some film developed and found some pictures I had taken of a climbing trip to Idaho a little while back
More recently spent a day supporting friends on an ultra marathon at a remote aid station - yes that is a Tesla in the background

Yup exactly! pretty wild place, wish we had more than a night to spend there but we were just passing through to Boise.
Took the Trekker down to Kimball bottoms off road area, by the Missouri river, south of Bismark North Dakota.
We need some details on your truck! Looks great!
I see you are new in these parts. Why don't you make a "howdy" thread, and tell us a little about yourself, and that Trekker. Those Trekkers are way cool and we really like seeing lots of pics. We don't get many of your kind around here, though the Gen1 trucks seem to be making a resurgence.
Dang, got ahead of myself. I see your pics in another thread. Still, go ahead and say "howdy" in a new thread.

Quick 1000 mile road trip to pick up some “spare parts”. I managed to find a complete 3L out of a Hiace for sale, and very close to my small home town in Colorado no less! After calculating how much a rebuild would cost, being able to put a spare engine in the shed for less than I would pay for a Chinese cylinder head seemed like a no-brainer
turbo? After driving my VW Caddy w/ and w/o a turbo I swore that I'd never, ever drive an NA diesel again.

The motor in the truck has a 2lte turbo set up on it, but the one I bought is bone stock NA. Agree that the old NA diesels are downright dangerous on our American freeways.
Since selling my Tacoma, my 4Runner has been sitting in the larger garage spot. I pulled it out, drove to work and back and then put it back in my garage.

South central Utah for a few technical canyons and a lot of dirt road therapy
Down to NW Arkansas. Biking got rained out so I took it on what turned out to be a 100 mile loop up into SW Missouri and back down to NWA. Then packed up and drove back to KC.
